Do You Need It?

KS2

This unit centres on the Deacon family and the dilemma they face when their TV breaks and they consider borrowing money to buy a new one. Children will explore the options for taking out loans and begin to understand some key terms. They look at the risks and consequences of borrowing money and research the cost and value of activities done as a family, thinking in both financial and emotional terms.
